So I'm stealing a little bit of Big Nasty's thunder here but I think he'll forgive me, the pics attached are from him. He sent them to me a couple days ago, yup, that's him, caught up in one of those nasty tree wells. To make it worse his one foot was pinned on top of the running board and the other one underneath the track! All he had to keep himself from falling backwards down the well was by hanging onto the sled. He recently purchased one of the BCA radio's, with the mike right on the shoulder strap. In this instance he was able to still hang onto the sled with one hand and use the mike with the other, rescue on the way!
After hearing his story and doing a little bit of reading on the radio, I now have one as well and must say it worked like a hot dam today up on the hill! Not just the "save my life" scenario, but just for keeping in touch with your sled buddies, getting unstuck or whatever, they sure work slick. I still carry my Rino but, its usually stuffed in my pack or a pocket and is just not as easy to use as the BCA. When you see the money sledder's put into their ride, such as wraps, new bumpers, helmet cams and other fancy schmancy stuff, there isn't anything more valuable or worth the coin than one of these little radios, cats sphincter!! Thanks BN !!
